Self-Cleaning.


With the self-cleaning feature you can flush out mineral residue from the steam generating chamber and the steam vents, refreshing your iron each time for a longer steaming life.  It is very important to operate the self cleaning feature after each steam ironing to prevent mineral accumulations from hardening.


  1. Check the water level, Water level should be more than half full.  When water level is less than half full, fill with water. refer to How to fill the water tank.

  7. While self-cleaning, tilt the iron up and down slowly to help clean the entire inside and let the water drip out of the soleplate vents.
  8. Check that all water and steam have completely stopped coming out of the soleplate vents. 
  9. After self-cleaning is finished, empty any remaining water from the water tank by turning the iron upside down.
  10. Iron on a towel to remove any drops of water remaining on the bottom or the iron.
  11. Allow the iron to cool and store on it's Heel Rest.  Never store on its Soleplate or with water in it.
  12. If water still remains inside the soleplate after self-cleaning operation dry out the iron by setting the iron on the [ Linen ] setting, to vaporize the remaining water.  After the iron is dry follow the instructions for "How to Care for your iron after each use."

Stay Clean Vents (NI-W810 & NI-W750 only)


The built-in Anti Calc System in the Water Tank continuously reduces scale build up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron.
This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a long period of time and prevents steam vents from clogging.


How to Care for your iron after each use.

  1. Set the Temperature Selector dial to "Off”
  2. Turn to iron off and unplug the power plug.
  3. Empty the iron immediately after using.  Do not store the iron with water in it..
  4. Set the Steam/Dry Selector to the Dry position. If the Steam/Dry Selector is not in the Dry position after using, remaining water will move into the Soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time. 
  5. Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set it on the Heel Rest to protect the Soleplate from scratches, corrosion or stains.

Cleaning the outside surface of the iron

  1. After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with a damp cloth and if necessary, use a mild detergent.
  2. Never use any harsh cleaners.

Cleaning the Soleplate

  1. Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the Soleplate with a damp cloth.
  2. To avoid scratching the finish, never use a metallic pad to clean the Soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
  3. The best way to remove synthetic residue from the Soleplate is to iron over an old cotton cloth rag after heating the iron.

Note


  • Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Some odor may be released during initial use of the iron, however, this is normal and the odor will not attach to your clothes. Never use steam iron detergent in the iron, as they may damage working parts of the iron.
